“Classical Thermodynamics is the only physical theory of universal content which
…. within the framework of its basic notions, will never be toppled.”
Albert Einstein

Global Energy Crisis!!
Do we have an Energy, Enthalpy or an Entropy Crisis? Freeman Dyson explains Entropy as a "measure
of disorder in a physical system". Another useful thermodynamic quantity in the
context of energy conversion is Enthalpy, which is used to quantify the thermal energy content of hot steam.
The energy available from a thermal power system depends on the temperature and pressure of the hot steam entering the turbine.

Gas Turbines
So, what are Gas Turbines? Popularly called the “GT” Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) has
Rolls-Royce Gas Turbines at Luano Station along Chingola Road.

Gas Turbine Principle
A gas turbine is a rotary machine, similar in principle to a steam turbine.
In an open cycle gas turbine working on Joule cycle, the air is compressed in a rotary compressor and passed into a combustion chamber where fuel is burnt, the products of combustion are then made to impinge over rings of turbine blades with high velocity and work is produced.

“Nature, in providing us with combustibles on all sides, has given us the power to produce, at all times and in all places, heat and the impelling power which is the result of it.
To develop this power, to appropriate it to our uses, is the objective of heat engines. The study of these engines is of greatest interest, their importance is enormous, their use is continually increasing, and they seem destined to produce a great revolution in the civilized world.”
Sadi Carnot, Reflection On The Motive Power of Heat And On Machines Fitted To Develop That Power, 1824.

So, What is a Heat Engine?
![Page 14: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Real Engines
Heat Engines in the real world are constrained by various factors.
In commercial power plants the work needed to turn the generator is supplied by a device called turbine, which has curved blades at the circumference and the working fluid is air and water at ambient temperature (in case of hydroelectric plants) or high temperature
(in steam cycle plants).
![Page 15: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Real Engines
Most commercial power plants use steam or hot gas supplied by combustion of fuels to propel the turbine.
Efficiencies of steam cycle plants are low, but the quantity of working fluid is less.
There are different types of cycles that can be employed for extracted work from steam and other working fluids.
![Page 16: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

What is Work?
Efficiency depends on the heat input and work output.
The Work Output can mean different things to different folks…
Work to turn a shaft …. electric generator, ship propulsion, helicopter rotor,
Turboprop engine, Abrams A1A tank, Automotive propulsion, …
Thrust efficiency @ NASA, etc

Brayton Cycle
The Brayton cycle models power systems based on Gas Turbines.
When hot gas is used to drive turbine to generate work, the energy conversion process is much simpler because the working fluid (gas) is directly heated without need for a large boiler as in case of steam cycle plants.

Brayton Combustion Gas Turbine cycle
The Brayton cycle (or Joule cycle) represents the operation of a gas turbine engine.
The cycle consists of four processes, as shown in Figure above of an engine:– a - b Adiabatic, quasi-static (or reversible)
compression in the inlet and compressor; – b - c Constant pressure fuel combustion (idealized as
constant pressure heat addition);
![Page 43: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Brayton Combustion Gas Turbine cycle
– c - d Adiabatic, quasi-static (or reversible) expansion in the turbine and exhaust nozzle, with which we take some work out of the air and use it to drive the compressor, and take the remaining work out and use it to accelerate fluid for jet propulsion, or to turn a generator for electrical power generation;
– d - a Cool the air at constant pressure back to its initial condition.

Brayton Cycle
Air is first compressed in a compressor and then heated in a combustion chamber fired by cleaner fuel like natural gas.
The working fluid in this case would be a mixture of air and the combustion products (carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrous oxide).
Dirtier fuels like coal cannot be used in this cycle. As in the case of steam cycle, the hot gas is directed through a nozzle to drive the gas turbine blades that turns a generator to produce work or electricity.
![Page 47: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Brayton Cycle
At the turbine exit, the gas has to be cooled to a temperature of around 550 degree Celsius, which is still hot but not sufficient to efficiently extract additional work in the turbine.
At most gas turbine plants the exhaust gas is directly vented into the atmosphere.
Simple gas plants and airplane engines are common examples of Brayton cycle in an open cycle arrangement.

Brayton Thermodynamic Efficiency
The thermodynamic efficiency of a Brayton cycle can be defined using enthalpy changes between various points inside a gas plant as:
![Page 49: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Brayton Thermodynamic Efficiency
Alternatively, the efficiency of a Brayton cycle can also be expressed in terms of pressure ratios and the thermodynamic properties of air and combustion products.
Brayton efficiency equations says that for a high cycle efficiency, the pressure ratio of the cycle should be increased.
See figure below the effects of increased pressure
![Page 50: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Methods to Improve Efficiency
The efficiency of a Brayton engine can be improved in the following manners:
Intercooling, wherein the working fluid passes through a first stage of compressors, then a cooler, then a second stage of compressors before entering the combustion chamber. While this requires an increase in the fuel consumption of the combustion chamber, this allows for a reduction in the specific volume of the fluid entering the second stage of compressors, with an attendant decrease in the amount of work needed for the compression stage overall. There is also an increase in the maximum feasible pressure ratio due to reduced compressor discharge temperature for a given amount of compression, improving overall efficiency.

Methods to Improve Efficiency
Regeneration, wherein the still-warm post-turbine fluid is passed through a heat exchanger to pre-heat the fluid just entering the combustion chamber. This directly offsets fuel consumption for the same operating conditions improving efficiency; it also results in less power lost as waste heat.

Methods to Improve Efficiency
A Brayton engine also forms half of the combined cycle system, which combines with a Rankine engine to further increase overall efficiency.
Cogeneration systems make use of the waste heat from Brayton engines, typically for hot water production or space heating.

Methods to Increase Power
The power output of a Brayton engine can be improved in the following manners:
Reheat, wherein the working fluid—in most cases air—expands through a series of turbines, then is passed through a second combustion chamber before expanding to ambient pressure through a final set of turbines. This has the advantage of increasing the power output possible for a given compression ratio without exceeding any metallurgical constraints (typically about 1000°C). The use of an afterburner for jet aircraft engines can also be referred to as reheat, it is a different process in that the reheated air is expanded through a thrust nozzle rather than a turbine.

Methods to Increase Power
The metallurgical constraints are somewhat alleviated enabling much higher reheat temperatures (about 2000°C).
The use of reheat is most often used to improve the specific power (per throughput of air) and is usually associated with a reduction in efficiency, this is most pronounced with the use of afterburners due to the extreme amounts of extra fuel used.

95
Gas Turbines Advantages
They operate at high temperatures. They can and are capable of meeting peak
load demands. They are compact and easy to operate, and
take advantage of aerospace propulsion applications.
They operate at relatively low pressures.
![Page 96: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
96
Gas Turbines Advantages…
Many installations burn natural gas, or in dual fuel mode burning NG and/or oil.
They do not handle wet gases, and are not as vulnerable to corrosion as steam turbines.
Combustion Gas Turbines do not require heat transfer equipment on the low-temperature side, and no coolant either
![Page 97: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
97
Gas Turbines Limitations…
They have relatively low efficiency since their maximum temperature is limited by material.
Their efficiency is low because of the high compressor work, and low efficiency of compressors.
![Page 98: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
98
Gas Turbines Limitations
Open cycle turbines are limited by the high exhaust temperature, which limits the turbine work.
They cannot be used with “dirty” fuels, such as coal, since sulfur oxides can damage their blades.
![Page 99: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)

Steam or Rankine Cycle
Steam, or Vapor Rankine Cycles overcome some of these limitations, and hence have been very popular in electric power generation.
All steam cycle plants are modeled using what is known as Rankine cycle.
Steam cycle can be constructed using closed and open cycles.
Open cycle require dumping exit steam into environment and so is restricted to 100 degree Celsius.
![Page 100: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
100
Rankine Cycle Plants
Modern steam cycle plants consist of a boiler which generates steam using the energy provided by coal, oil, gas or nuclear fuels.
In addition they have a feed water pump that pumps the fully condensed steam exiting the condenser to the boiler at high pressure.
![Page 101: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
101
Rankine Efficiency
Efficiencies are very low in such arrangement. Modern steam plants are based on a closed
cycle arrangement that uses a condenser to cool the waste steam, an innovation that was originally conceived and designed by James Watt.
![Page 102: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
102
Rankine Efficiency
Here overall efficiency is the electrical output from the turbine generator minus the energy needed to operate the feed water pump and frictional losses in the turbine generator.
The steam cycle efficiency in this case is defined by the following equation:
![Page 103: TURBO MACHINES Steam and Gas Turbines Eng. R. L. Nkumbwa MSc, REng. Copperbelt University, ST ©August, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649da05503460f94a8b1e6/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
103
Rankine Efficiency
Modern steam plants achieve steam cycle efficiencies of 30-45%.
It is possible to raise efficiencies by maximizing the inlet steam enthalpy, but these are limited due to engineering constraints.

Rankine Cycle Process
The processes in the Rankine cycle are as follows:– a b: Heat added at constant temperature T2 (constant
pressure), with transition of liquid to vapor– c d: Liquid-vapor mixture condensed at temperature
T1 by extracting heat.– d e: Cold liquid at initial temperatureT1 is pressurized
reversibly to a high pressure by a pump. In this, the volume changes slightly.
– e a: Reversible constant pressure heating in a boiler to temperature T2

Rankine Cycle Process
In the Rankine cycle, the mean temperature at which heat is supplied is less than the maximum temperature, T2 , so that the efficiency is less than that of a Carnot cycle working between the same maximum and minimum temperatures.

Rankine Cycle Process
The heat absorption takes place at constant pressure over eab, but only the part ab is isothermal.
The heat rejected occurs over cd; this is at both constant temperature and pressure.

Rankine Cycles Advantages…
Fuel flexible, works well with coal (closed cycle).
High efficiency, low pumping power. Lower flow rate (latent enthalpy). Run at low T (works with geothermal and
solar), but high p.

Combined Cycles
Recent years have seen a growth of plants employing Rankine and Brayton cycles.
Such plants are called combined cycle plants. Rather than venting the hot exhaust gas from the
Brayton cycle into the atmosphere there are plant designs that use this heat for other purposes using heat recovery steam generators.
This has resulted in overall efficiencies reaching as high as 50 to 55%.
